Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebras at positive integer levels and duality

One of the simplest examples of W-algebras is the Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebra W∧k(g,f), associated to g=sl(3) and the minimal nilpotent element f. We study the simple Bershadsky-Polyakov algebr...

Definite fillings of plumbed 3-manifolds

Motivated by the study of smoothings of rational surface singularities as well as symplectic fillings of plumbed 3-manifolds, we consider an analogue problem in a purely topological setting. The quest...

The Hermitian geometry of the Chern connection

We consider some problems concerning the geometry of the Chern connection, including: metrics with constant Chern-scalar curvature; the generalizations of the Kähler-Einstein condition to the non-Kähl...

Moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials and the KP hierarchy

I'll present a recent joint work with A. Buryak and D. Zvonkine, where we study the moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials, i.e., the closures, in the moduli space of stable curves, of...

Horospheres in several complex variables

A horocycle in the unit disk of the complex plane is a euclidean disk which is internally tangent to a point p of the boundary of the disk. Horocycles are limits of Poincaré balls as the center moves ...

Centers as cohomology, representations and microlocal sheaves

In a pioneering 1981 paper De Concini and Procesi provided a beautiful description for cohomology of fixed point sets (Springer fibers) (G/B)_​ϵ in type A. This was an important precursor to two later...

Finiteness Theorems for Gromov-Hyperbolic Groups

This is a joint work with G. Courtois, S. Gallot and A. Sambusetti. We shall prove that, given two positive numbers and H, there are finitely non cyclic torsion-free -hyperbolic marked groups (Γ.Σ) sa...

Special varieties and hyperbolicity

Campana proposed a series of conjectures relating algebro-geometric and complex-analytic properties of algebraic varieties and their arithmetic. The main ingredient is the definition of the class of s...

Sulla moltiplicazione delle funzioni sferiche di uno spazio omogeneo affine senza molteplicità di tipo A

Sia G un gruppo algebrico semplice definito sui complessi e sia K un sottogruppo riduttivo di G, chiuso nella topologia di Zariski. La varietà omogenea G/K è detta senza molteplicità se ogni component...

Yamabe flow on smooth and singular spaces: old and new results

Yamabe flow is an intrinsic geometric flow that deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold. If the flow converges, it deforms the metric to a metric of constant scalar curvature with the sign dependi...
